c5 race star wheels fitment well i searched here and all over for the correct fitment with specs and all. i could never find the exact answer so i bit the bullet and decided to try it all out. i wound up ordering 17x9.5 for the rear with 6.875 back spacing. i really wanted a 10 or a 10.5 but they didnt have anything with the backspacing that i thought would work. i also ordered 17x4.5 for the front with 1.75 b/s. i think the front is going to stick out a bit so i may have the pad on the wheel machined down maybe a quarter inch. i have the rear tires mounted, went with a nitto 05r 315 radial. im waiting on the front tires to make it in to me before i can get it all mounted up. let me know what you think about it all. i will have pics of the rear installed this weekend. fronts are probably a week or so out.

Have not looked at any C5's with these wheels on. Need to see your vette with the fronts on too. What's your oppinion looking at them in person ?

The fronts I have but I still need tires. From my research I only have two choices m&h and hoosier. Both will cost about 400 for the pair. Just seems a bit steep to me. I also think I may have to machine the pad down on the front about a half inch or so. They only offer 1.75 b/s and I think I actually need 2.25. I will see here in about a week or so.
